Finno-Ugrian studies are still dominated by the obsolete and indefensible "Stammbaum-Theorie", which represents the relationship of languages in the form of a genealogical tree and therefore distinguishes, as it were, different generations sprung from the same ancestor. www.kroraina.com /hungar/ds_ohp.html   (11524 words)
